Baked Ramen Noodle Dippers

Do you ever see a recipe for something that looks too good to be true, only to find out that it was prepared using a method you'd rather not use or using ingredients that you would never touch? It happens to me all the time... which is why I'm always coming up with new recipes!

Well, I saw this recipe for Ramen Noodle fries and was totally blown away, only, they were deep fried. I really try to stay away from fried food {always} and will attempt to come up with other ways to cook food while still achieving similar results. As was the case with the fries, I had to make some original modifications to the recipe I found so that I could bake the fries. It changed the feel of the noodles and became more of a dipper, which is even better!

You might think this is a bit of a weird recipe but I'm telling you, these little dippers {ha} are so good. My kids even had me make another batch because they liked them so much, and that never happens. They are super simple to make and something different to take to a get together, potluck or event. Plus, ramen noodles are so dang inexpensive, it's a great recipe while eating on a budget.

Ingredients:

1 package Ramen Noodles

3 cups water

1 egg

foil

1 cup parmesan cheese

Italian herbs

Instructions:

Boil water either in pot or kettle

Either add noodles to boiling water in pot or add water to noodles in boil {either method is fine as long as the noodles cook}

Cook noodles until al dente {not too hard, not too soft}

Drain water from noodles then run noodles under cold water, draining again

Place in {not hot} bowl and add egg

Combine egg and noodles

Dump noodles on foil, cover and fold edges so that noodles are formed into a rectangle or square

What a great and innovative way to use boring old Ramen noodles! I can imagine the parmesan adds great flavor, especially when it gets baked on top. And besides, Ramen costs what...$1? Inexpensive treat too

Wow! I have never heard of this...As much as I try to keep my kids away from from ramen noodles and other processed food, they REALLY love this stuff. I may have to try it....maybe add an asian flair to the sauce.

These are so unique. My house is full of ramen lovers so I think this would be universally enjoyed! Love it! I'd also love for you to come link up with us over at Throwback Thursday's link party going all weekend long!
